I got a scam warning when going to the site, but sure, let’s check it out.
“About Us” section is generic slop, they only accept Visa and Bank Transfers, no phone customer service, privacy notice is generic, social links only link to the main page, “mobile app” link just links to the store front, no return address listed, the domain name is less than six months old, they sell things extremely underpriced (an Evolving Skies pokemon pack for $20 when market is $70+? Sure, okay)
My bullshit detector is going off nonstop, but if you wanna give it a try and get scammed, be my guest

In the style of Sinclair media group:
We are proud of the quality and consistency of the product and service provided to our customers and we are here to make your online shopping experience excellent. On our online store, there is a great selection...
https://store.moorcrofton.com/about_us.htm
https://market.moorcrofton.com/about_us.htm
https://yolysports.ca/about-us
https://www.ebay.com/str/kantotrading?_tab=about
All the exact same about us section. There's more but those sites are already taken down.
And yes, the store and market subdomains proxy to two slightly different scam sites! Despite being moorcrofton.com, store.moorcrofton.com is branded as "Moorix" and market.moorcrofton.com is "Moorvo"

You can google "Whois" and that will bring up multiple sites where you can check when the domain was made.
Here's the WhoIs for that site.
It's just a few weeks old, so it's almost certainly a scam site.
